For Refugee Week 2023, the King’s Sanctuary Team are running a day of in-person workshops on various topics related to the global issue of forced displacement and access to higher education for forcibly displaced students and academics.

Participants will attend whole group sessions at the start and end of the day, and select from a list of workshops they would like to attend. By taking part in the Sanctuary Workshops, students and staff will learn more about forced displacement and discover ways they can support the many people impacted by this global issue. Participants will also have the opportunity to network with a wide range of people from across the university.
